Holiday Plans??

Melvin-QVC — Thu, 16 Nov 2017 20:22:43 GMT

Since I will be working SO hard on Thanksgiving, providing everyone the excellent customer service you've come to know and love, I was wondering what are YOUR holiday plans?

Will be working hard and happily with my fabulous husband to prepare Thanksgiving dinner for the Thursday meal with my elderly mother and elderly aunt. Cooking dressing and turkey Wednesday and transporting that and loads of groceries an hour and a half to my aunt's house Thursday, where we will make and bake side dishes. Every year, I say prayerfully, "Thank God I have someone to cook for."

Hi Melvin,

Thank you for your excellent customer service. We will be going to my daughters house for Thanksgiving. It is only 15 minutes away from where we live. I will be bringing whatever dish or dishes that she tells me that she needs and she will take care of all the rest. We will spend a relaxing day visiting and playing with the grandkids. I feel very blessed to be spending the day this way. We will miss our son who lives in a different state but we just got back from visiting him so that makes it somewhat better.

Happy Thanksgiving to you-I hope you will get a chance to celebrate sometime in the upcoming week.

Thank you for asking Melvin and also thank you for the tough job you do in customer service, I think everyone should have to work a holiday in retail customer service. 😂

Melvin--I'd gladly "be thankful" if I could trade places with you. Too much cooking...and then there's sitting down at the table with my cranky family........is it January yet?!

@nana59 Be grateful for your cranky family; how would you like to sit down to eat alone?

Just me, my husband and my dog! Thanksgiving is our 'calm before the storm'. We travel to see family most of December and I spend most of my time once there cooking every day meals for them, although my mom still does Christmas Day. We live away from both sides of the family and luckily both sides live in the same state and town, so we are bombarded with tons of family time all at once. So Thanksgiving is our nice quiet holiday with tons of wine and a turkey just for us (it's amazing how fast two adults and a 10lb dog can get through a turkey!)... and we stay in our PJs all day!!

How sweet of you to ask about everyone's plans when you have to work! Hope you have some down time afterwards to chill out.

@Melvin-QVC, how nice of you to ask.
We will be going out for dinner, hubby's daughter and my granddaughter will be joining us this year. We have made this into our new tradition, some of our extended family joins us each year.
I do hope you have family plans on another day to make up for missing out on the traditional Thanksgiving feasting day.

DH and I set the alarm clock so we wake up in time for the start of the Macy's Parade and enjoy hot cocoa with warm cinnamon rolls

We'll be watching several vintage movies...like my fave 'It Happened on 5th Ave' throughout the rest of the day/evening.

Wishing you and everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!

We are at home with just us this year, and I will probably be on the boards some that day.

@Melvin-QVC, hopefully, if you’re working on Thanksgiving that means you won’t have to work on Xmas (unless that’s something you choose to do). I spent many years working one or the other but not both.

We are undecided yet, but either way we’ll be guests more or less, so no full meal prep, just maybe a single dish. And either choice is within half an hour’s drive. We hosted last year.
